In a Pub News

London operator Fuller’s has paid £22.9m to buy 15 freehold pubs from Enterprise Inns.
The move will see the company expand its presence in the west and south east of England as well as adding to its Hampshire estate.
Fuller’s managing director Simon Emeny said: “The transaction demonstrates the continuation of our strategy to selectively purchase only the highest quality pubs, where the Fuller’s name and operating style can add real value. This deal will take the total number of pubs acquired by Fuller’s in the last 12 months to 29, giving the business tremendous momentum as we head towards the summer of 2012.”
The deal follows an announcement yesterday that Fuller’s had bought the Market Hotel in Reigate, Surrey.
